What this server can do
5 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
corpus_stats- Corpus size and freshness: source / article / event counts and the latest article timestamp.
get_event(id)- Fetch a single event by id, including every corroborating article (source, url, timestamp). Required: id.
get_events(q, to, from, limit, source, category, semantic)- Query the deduped news event graph by theme, source, category and time window. Returns events (many articles about one happening collapsed into one), each with a corroboration count and confidence score. This is the primary tool — prefer it over raw articles. The corpus spans 260+ global outlets and a five-year archive (history visible depends on tier).
list_sources- List all news sources Newsflash tracks, with categories and live article counts.
search_articles(q, to, from, limit, source, category)- Search raw articles (not collapsed into events). Use when you want the underlying items or need per-outlet coverage rather than deduped happenings.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
